The transition to a new, modern MiUI unemployment system is scheduled for Nov. 9, 2026. It will replace the current, 14-year-old MiWAM platform. Users should make sure all account information (addresses, phone numbers, etc.) is up to date before the changeover.
Other significant changes that will go into effect at the same time as the MiUI rollout:
- Certify for benefits every week. Benefits will also be paid weekly.
- Using MARVIN to certify ends. In MiUI, it’s faster on a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. No more calling on assigned days and times.
- You will not be able to file a claim over the phone.
Most UIA services (including MiWAM) will be unavailable from 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, to Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, when MiUI Goes Live and Local Offices and phones reopen.
There are specific rules and regulations for claiming unemployment insurance benefits. We can help you understand these requirements and help you prepare to apply.
